In the days of photographs taken with a camera I have physically printed
copies. I also have dozens of CD's containing what I considered 'important'
photographs.
With the advent of the iPhone and Apple's iCloud I make do with nothing more
than Time Machine backups. Try as I might, I cannot envisage Apple failing to
keep my images safe in their iCloud.
If that makes you cringe, please tell me why!
